CRESSELLY are the new champions of Pembroke County Cricket division one.
The Doves wrestled the title of defending champions Neyland who finished a disappointing fifth.
Cresselly wrapped up the season in style beating Narberth by seven wickets, making 142-3, and bowling Narberth out for 140.
Phil Williams and Matthew Morgan both came close to half-centuries making 46 and 48. Jamie McCormack almost got his half-century for Narberth making 48.
In the bowling stakes Tom Murphy ripped it up taking three for 26 and Nick Cope supported taking three for 44.
Cresselly won the league with a points total of 247, with Llangwm runners-up on 229.
At the wrong end of the table, Haverfordwest and Pembroke Dock were both relegated, with Saundersfoot surviving the chop finishing just above the relegation zone.
Haverfordwest’s season went out with a whimper losing to last year’s runners-up Lawrenny by nine wickets.
Haverfordwest were put into bat and made 188 for seven before Lawrenny swatted away the county town club, making 190 for one - Harry Thomas making 106 not out.
Pembroke Dock also suffered defeat on the final day of the season losing to last year’s champions Neyland.
Neyland batted first making an impressive 303 for eight before smashing Pembroke Dock out the park, bowling them out for 86.
Star performer of the final round of division one was St Ishmaels’ Phil Llewellyn, making a massive 128.

In the second division, a very satisfied Burton had it all on the line and brought it home.
It came down to the final game of the season for the side chasing promotion.
Burton were top of division two, just two points in front, with a win securing a place in division one, and a 19 point victory sealing promotion as champions.
The boys did it in style beating Johnston by 56 runs.
Burton were put into bat and made 226 for eight before bowling Johnston out for 170.
Kudos went to Dan Ridge who made 46 before taking an electric four for 23.
